Are they any good? Ive not had a chance to give em a go.

I dare you to type Abu Jointed Terminator, Andy Macfarlane and favourite lures or searches to that effect into Google and I bet my arse you'll find it listed somewhere as one of my all-time favourite lures....

Brilliant lures mate. Very often the first lure out of my box. I have 3 and a vast collection of similar jointed minnow-baits.

Go on....I dare you. Would I lie???

Cast them and just wiggle the rod tip while taking up slack and wait for the pike to whack 'em. Just change the hooks and hangers. Some were a wee bit naff depending on the age. I put Wolverine rings and size 4 VMC hooks on mine.

Aw man, you're in for so much fun. I promise. If it doesn't rate in your top 5 lures by the end of Summer, I'll eat them both with the hooks on. How's that for a challenge??

....Andy....

Even better....go to page 1 of THIS THREAD and you'll find it listed as one of my all-time favourites. There you go.....

I don't say something unless I mean it...lol

LOL "abu jointed terminator andy mcfarlane" 1st google result.

Ill give em a go first chuck of the river season as youve never steered me wrong before.

right andy, i bought two and am still crying. tryed them trawling with nae luck. got a Skinner 12cm RGS. and still nae luck................

Just get them dancing so you're basically taking up slack. You don't want them coming home in any kind of hurry at all. It's not about speed. Get yer rod tip going so the lure is jiggling it's wee heart out. There's literally no technique in them to learn. Just put them in the right area, give it a good jab at first to get it down a foot or so and then start dancin' to yer favourite tunes....

....Andy....

thats one way to describe it. i'm out tomorow i'll give them another go. cheers

Well how would describe it then?....

well when i read ;start dancin' to yer favourite tunes....; just about fell of the chair

i can now say the brown trout one works caught one around 3.5lb on satarday with one. good action in the water fun to use.

Any joy with the Terminators yet??

none at all andy, must be the way i'm fishing them. thay look good in the water but no takes as yet.

Amatuer...lol...

I doubt it has anything to do with the way you're fishing them Greg. I reckon the pike you've been aiming for have other ideas and that's all it is. You'll probably try it on another venue one day and it'll mop up when no other lure seems to be doing much of anything.

The Terminator will have it's day....honest....

....Andy....

I'll be back....
